Jameson Pub Cologne in Köln

I am not one to leave negative reviews but this place, oh man! This place is "SPECIAL". I had the pleasure of DJ'ing through Germany and happened to have St. Patty's off in Cologne. All was fine until our (short-bearded) bartender started partying a little to hard (have a great video of his jaw dancing). His attitude changed drastically, seems like he had some seniority cause when I asked for a manager several of his co-workers warned him. Hope that management takes a good look at it's staff, the spot has a lot of potential.

The evening started really well with a great atmosphere and mood with karaoke and a lot of fun until the music suddenly turned off and the fun stopped! The bar is actually open until 1 a.m. but it ends shortly after 12! I think it's a shame because everyone left and the whole motion was ruined! More would be possible and has potential here, but what I experienced won't bring me back here! Sorry lame!!!! . A lot could be possible here but it's all about sales and unfortunately the fun falls by the wayside!

I've never seen so many people in their mid-life crisis in one place, a pure over-35 celebration, otherwise actually quite nice, maybe a bit expensive, karaoke music made me deaf but otherwise only recommended if you fall into this age group

We had a wonderful karaoke evening there with friends. The food was good, the DJs took turns and some of them sang along. The restrooms were clean, and the staff were attentive and friendly.

My favorite place, very familiar.

A great pub with an authentic atmosphere. The playlist was exactly our kind of music and put us in a good mood. Afterwards, we had karaoke – amazing!

Busy and nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly but distracted, bringing me lager instead of Guinness. I recommend the place but not their fish and chips

Soooo funny location. Great atmosphere. Very tasty beers on tap.

While I've not been to Ireland yet, this is exactly how I imagine every Irish Pub! The decoration was awesome and they had some tables outside as well. It was a pretty big place and I got a chair at the bar very quickly. The waiters and waitresses were all super friendly as well!

Sorry, but service takes too long and waitress doesn't know the prices

Always great for weekends. Not that cheap but great food, very friendly service, KARAOKE

Good atmosphere and good service, staff very attentive 👍🏻

Great environment and good beer..

Amazing place, one of my favorite pubs in town. It's a regular Irish pub in the front half of it and a huge karaoke place in the back half. There's also a nice terrace in front of it, good for warm evenings. The crowd is very diverse and exciting. Service is ok, sometimes it takes a long time to be able to get a drink, which is pretty normal considering that the place is always full. A great place to have some fun with friends.

Great Irish breakfast and a killer Irish coffee.

It's always a pleasure to go to the pub. Unfortunately it is often packed. But the entertainment value and the ambience are simply worth it. After a few Kilkenny (super tasty) you don't even care that it's so crowded ;).

Great Irish pub in the center of Cologne. A must try if you wish to catch up a Premier League game or join a Karaoke show inside the bar. Really fun place

Went here for karaoke, with a very relaxed atmosphere (you don't have to be able to sing), great ambience, and a large selection of drinks. The KJ also did a great job. However, it was very crowded (Saturday) and we missed a cloakroom. I have to give a significant point deduction for the toilets, they smell of chlorine and they are not clean and in poor condition. This should urgently be improved, then the overall concept would be correct!

Great pub in Cologne, it's great fun there! Various evenings, football is broadcast and a fine Guinness on tap. What more could you want.

Music too loud Edit: In the operator's comment, processes are randomly thrown together that are completely independent of each other. Nevertheless, it would be great if you adhered to the mandatory night's sleep in the future.

Friday evening, 7 p.m., still somewhat empty, but no chance without a table reservation. Later access only for cash, one drink included. Cozy atmosphere everywhere, but overall very loud. I would recommend another location for entertainment. In the back there is music to fidget with. Predominantly younger, friendly crowd. The service speaks English and is very friendly. Food was okay in terms of price and taste. Large selection of drinks. Overall worth a visit.

Cozy, very nice service, delicious beer 😂

Nice, cozy, delicious food and drinks. For me personally, always worth a visit.

Really fun, friendly place. Went there for Karaoke night, great atmosphere, everyone singing along, we had a blast! It's a spacious, nicely decorated pub in the heart of Cologne.

Live music food and atmosphere wonderful

Although it was located in a side street, about 15-20 minutes away from the Dom Cathedral on foot, it was very lively and lively. We went on a weekday but there was live music. The worst part was that the lowest beer started at 7 euros. Also, waiters were constantly coming for us to have drinks.

Were there on January 17, 2025 on the recommendation of a friend. Tip top - great service

Very large store, but still very, very crowded on weekends, you have to like it. Since we had seats it was bearable for me. The food is very good and the price is reasonable. The drink selection is also considerable. However, at times the service seemed a bit overwhelmed by the number of visitors. The karaoke part was great. I didn't sing myself, but it was fun to listen to the others. Nobody was shamed or booed and if someone didn't have the lyrics ready, the others just kept singing! Everyone just had fun.

Always a great atmosphere, delicious beers and great service. I just don't think that the entrance fee is charged for a pub when it's karaoke or when it's the weekend

If Irish pub, then Jameson. Very clear recommendation. Good beer, world-class burgers (also vegan options, highly recommended, better than the meat burgers) and there are regular quiz nights and karaoke here. Great fun every time. You should only speak a little English.

Nice typical Irish pub. But the fact that the beer here (0.5l/7.40€) is more expensive than in an average London pub (6 pounds for a pint=0.56l) is quite cheeky.

We are there quite often. The atmosphere is nice and rustic. But what dampens the mood: unfortunately the pub quizzes generally take too long. It would be nice if it could go a little quicker (maybe have two people evaluate the quizzes?). Food is okay, well. Sorry, but 15€ for a dish with mainly frozen fried food is a lot :)

Me and my boyfriend celebrated nye here. We had a great time en some great drinks. The karaoke was a fun extra.

Great pub, great staff, no complaints at all. Would definitely go back if I'm ever in the city again

Great bar, but felt a little bit of a novelty Irish pub

A very nice atmosphere and great food

Typical Irish pub, but very large. Unfortunately no live music on a Saturday evening.

Good drinks. Lively environment.

The ambient in there is really nice, but they don't take care of the outside area as much and the service is slow outside.

Great pub! I visit once a year with friends during the Christmas season. Karaoke is always a hilarious highlight.

Boxing Day with Fish+Chips ! Best place for this in town ! HoHoHo

I really like the bar and have been there at different times of the year, as well as different days and times during the week/weekend. The waiters go around regularly and are attentive (as best as possible). The atmosphere is great. You immediately feel comfortable. And depending on the season, we decorate accordingly. On cooler days there are also “heated areas” outside. Food & drinks are completely okay for me. Prices too. There is always karaoke on weekends. It's also fun from the side - even if the participants always choose the same songs & it gets tedious at some point. The moderators often make fun of it. 😅 For groups of at least 5 people it is better to make a reservation as the bar is very popular and always very busy. I like to take friends who don't come from Cologne to the bar & everyone always had fun. 👌🏻

Even though the house was full, we didn't have to wait that long for orders. Nice waitresses, the food was delicious, but it gets very crowded for karaoke. Unfortunately, my girlfriend didn't get to sing, even though we were there for dinner beforehand. The atmosphere was good, even if someone couldn't sing well, people took part.

Overall good beer selection, but the bartenders make ordering very complicated and incomprehensible. Were there for karaoke. It's very cool in itself, but somehow it's really too crowded and you can't step anywhere.

Regular pub quiz or karaoke. The mail always leaves here on the weekend. Well suited for larger and mixed groups. Various types of beer from England, Scotland etc. available. An institution in Cologne!

Very nice pub with good food. Great atmosphere and very nice service. Mixed starter plate, citizens, spare ribs, cottage pie or vegetarian pie, everything was very tasty

I've already spent some great evenings here. Now I was there and had to pay the entrance fee. Since when ? That would be ok if access were also regulated, instead more and more people are allowed into the store even though it is already full. I found that to be a rip off. We then moved to the next brewery and had a lovely evening without having to shout at each other, without sweating and without standing and bumping into each other.

Super fun, enthusiastic people, great atmosphere

Somehow found myself here every night on my week long trip.

The karaoke evening was awesome! Great atmosphere, nice people, cider was flowing freely. Always my pleasure.

The karaoke is a lot of fun. There are a lot of good people there who sing great. The only thing that bothers me there is the moderation team, which accepts song requests in a very unfriendly manner and generally spreads a bad mood. Otherwise drinks service was top.

Nice bar in central location, staff very friendly.

Great irish are in the middle of Cologne!!

Fantastic Irish bar. Great food, beer and atmosphere and staff super friendly, 6 stars!

Great pub, great beer and they have sky sports..very good friendly service!! 👏

Irish stew and shepherd's pie are delicious

If you like Irish pubs, this is the place for you. Great ambience, mood at any time.

Nice Irish place to have a beer and a snack. Lots of screens showing different football matches. A bit too many screens that seem too noisy.

The place is great to spend with friends and meet people, I recommend it ⭐🤙

Great, pure Ireland. We really enjoyed the evening with friends over Guinness and bangers (sausages). A little loud during karaoke, but definitely not a “deal bracket” and the music itself was great too

I'm sitting in Jameson at this very moment and I saw something totally unhygienic from the bartenders! The bartender had several shot glasses of Ramazotti on a tray. For a reason I don't understand, he poured the shot glasses back into the bottle and put it back in the cupboard. It is absolutely unhygienic! Nobody knows whether the shots were coughed on, whether a customer sipped them or anything like that; Dust must have just fallen on the shots, that's enough. There are three of us sitting here and we are all witnesses. The health department should be informed about such behavior!

You had a lot of fun. It was very crowded but a great atmosphere. For a fiver you can sing one more song at the end. I just say country roooooads, take me home.......

We were at karaoke, the atmosphere was great and very crowded

Atmospheric café with cozy seating areas and friendly staff

Great atmosphere, whether Saturday or Wednesday. Sandwiches are extremely good.

We were there on Saturday evening and wanted to go in with a group. We had to wait for a group to leave so we could go in because it was really crowded. When a group finally came out, no one could remember us. The discussion was a bit annoying. Inside it was very crowded and very narrow, but there were a lot of good karaoke singers who took it very seriously. It wasn't the karaoke we had in mind for a party night. I estimate the average age to be a maximum of 30. In short, it wasn't quite our cup of tea, but it was certainly the right thing for fans of serious karaoke.

Had a great evening. Everything just felt right. Very pleasant, hardworking waitresses who effortlessly found you in the enormous crowds and kept serving, nice people and lots of fun with the karaoke. Recommended!

Great place. Nice staff and atmosphere. For the first time in Germany and I realized that before that I didn’t drink beer ❤️🇩🇪

Beer prices unfortunately too high to give any more stars. 2 euro pints each and we spent 34 euros incl. Tips. Just too expensive. Service and atmosphere are good though.

Best Irish breakfast outside of Ireland. I got a vegan breakfast, which includes toast, chips, vegan sausages and baked beans. My boyfriend got a full Irish breakfast and he loved it. He also got a pint of Guinness, and said it was the nicest pint he's had outside of Ireland. So impressed by this pub, I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for good food and drinks. The staff are also lovely!

Had a drink there and we liked the ambience and atmosphere. Nice pub. We didn't eat there, but the guests at the neighboring tables seemed happy.

Lovely little pub, the food is tasty, and you get plenty. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Very good spontaneous visit and then stayed for dinner

Nice evening, the atmosphere was very good again. The waitresses were all very friendly. We are already planning our next visit. Tip: Try the Irish Car Bomb and the Baby Guiness

Noc place for drinks, sports and Karaoke.

Irish pub that meets my expectations in this type of place The place is warm

Cosy and lively pub. Great beers and live game. I watched English Premier League and it was a great atmosphere. Very friendly staffs. Very convenient location 🍺🍻🍺

Live music , people speak English, easy the find drinking mates

Unfortunately no Irish music. Instead, some nonsense

Tourist trap. Prices are astronomical!

Large Irish pub...just what you would expect....

It is to live an experience, very entertaining and to taste beers

If you speak German, that's good. If you speak some kind of or proper English, the answer is also in English. I feel like I'm in London or Dublin.

Karaoke evening! We had a really good time in the pub. I particularly liked the rustic atmosphere. Food was delicious! Thanks

The karaoke weekends at Jameson are always really nice. The atmosphere is great and the staff is great. The audience is diverse and everyone is welcome. We really enjoy coming to the pub!!!

The ambience and the food 🍔 are great and I especially like being there when it's karaoke evening, as the mood cannon IMAN ensures a perfect evening 😍 you can't miss that voice 🪩

I love this casual place and this pub vibe ❤️. Karaoke is available three evenings a week. A special highlight for me is Iman's performance, who also sets up the songs at the same time and makes almost every wish possible with her cool, original and warm-hearted manner. Hearing them sing is an absolute feast for the ears.

Wild birds! Best karaoke show there is. Moderation 10/10. Iman, brother, she can also sing unusually well. Perfect mix of party, entertainment and good music. Always happy to come 🫶🏽

Love it there, the atmosphere with the new DJs is just great. It was so great the other day, the system didn't work well for a while, but the DJs still heated up the place with the audience and the singers. The problem would be solved super quickly and then it would get even better! Just a nice atmosphere and a lot of queer people there now!

From all management to the service staff, a lot of effort and (wo)manpower is put into the store. The food and drink selection are higher priced, but at the same time very reliably good. You can spend a quiet morning/afternoon there in a very nice atmosphere, as well as an energetic karaoke night, a funny and exciting quiz evening, or simply watch football and other sports. There is actually always something going on and moving, but as I said: it is also possible to spend nice, quiet moments there. It can get very crowded on weekends, but in my experience the pub people rock it pretty well. Greetings go out especially to Jesse, Julie, Kalina, Aphrodite, Marialena, (and everyone else)!

Both Pub and karaoke bar. Super cozy

Affordable cider in Germany! Can't ask for anything better!

Great place for karaoke, not too expensive either. Had a blast and everyone singing along was so much fun!

Eat: The two pies shown in the photo (Steak and Ale and Chicken and Mushroom) with gravy and fresh fries were extremely tasty, albeit very spicy. (Encourages drinking 😉). Ambiance: Rustic and very cozy. The lighting is dim, i.e. rather dark, which can be a challenge if you have difficulty seeing. There are a few steps in the restaurant that are relevant depending on the seat you choose. In any case, you have to climb a flight of stairs to the basement to go to the toilet. One star deducted due to sometimes longer waiting times for service and not consistent accessibility.

Very nice atmosphere and cool karaoke nights!! On a Saturday evening nevertheless some people were singing on repeat and the rest had to wait a lot till it was their turn to sing..

Edit: We were there on October 4th. back and are extremely disappointed. Apparently Queen May is no longer there and the new blonde presenter doesn't compare. The Jamesons Pub is no longer an Irish pub. The new presenters ask for tips after every second song. What's that supposed to mean???? What I found particularly bad: The presenter made fun of the “not very good” singers and didn't even respond to the audience. Birthday children were simply ignored. The “show” didn’t start until 45 minutes later than it originally was. We were used to better things from Queen May. Unfortunately, it is no longer the show that you know from Jameson’s Karaokebar. Originally from April 2nd, 2022: Unforgettable evenings at Jameson's Pub with Queen May. The atmosphere at the karaoke evenings is incomparable! There is singing, dancing and there is also food and drink. Great quality of food and drinks! The service staff are excellent: they always look at the guests, if someone comes over or the drink is empty, they immediately ask if they would like to order something. Always my pleasure!

Super cool pub! The atmosphere was there and their food was also nice!

The best steak and ale pie I have ever eaten

The food and drink selection was very extensive. We ate well, the price was a bit more than we thought but still within reason. The service was good but could be a bit "faster". The burger was good but could have had a bit more sauce and seasoning.

Lots of audience, lots of karaoke, lots of interesting people and a special beer
